This is an awesome idea.
Click the link and watch the presentation.
Have you ever wondered about the traditional owners of the land you’re driving through?
The Blacktracker app and GPS software is in its early development and could offer a digital connection to local indigenous cultures and traditions.

‘Go Halfsies’ Fights Hunger, Waste, and Crazy Restaurant Portions
Join a new social initiative called “Go Halfsies” and fight obesity, waste-disposal and world hunger all at the same time! At participating restaurants pay for a full meal and receive half the portion. The restaurant will then donate 90% of the proceeds to support the fight against hunger, you don’t waste food and you...

ramblinggirle:
In theory it is a time of celebration for Australians. A time to reflect upon the great country that we are all members of and how far we have come in such a small period of time.
I guess I say in theory because let’s be honest, Australia day for most Australians is an excuse to get a day off…

But this job is legit, passed the interview and had killer references who were not gunna talk smack about me.
I started on Wednesday. A youth participation role in a local council. Sounded dreamy, apart from it is 3 days a week and in the middle...

Transphobic Libra ad - response to complaint
I think I was rather polite. What do you think?
The recent ad where a transwoman and a stereotypical biological woman are in a bathroom is highly offensive. Please remove the ad and apologise to trans* people and the wider community. Perhaps donate to the Zoe Belle gender centre to support trans* people. You have lost a customer in me for the rest of my menstruating days.
Thanks

Lackadaisical Lurker: Transphobia and tampons... →
alwaysthequiet1:
Do ‘real women’ exist? Can one woman be ‘better’, more ‘real’, than another woman? Well, according to Libra Tampons, the answer is emphatically “yes” and the clue to her true womanhood is her menstrual cycle. Their advert (which has already rightfully caused controversy) depicts two women - one…

Australian gets HIV from Bali tattoo →
So some dumbarse bogan got a tatt in Bali. And now is living with HIV.
In the video piece, the Drs don’t know when or where this person became positive. Now, that doesn’t seem very convincing to me. I think it carries less stigma and shamejob with dodgy blood transfusions or tattoos/piercings resulting in a HIV notification rather than unprotected sex or using unsterile injecting...

The great debate that no one's talking about →
Marijuana is by far the most popular drug: more than 7 million Australians have tried it at some point in their lifetime. Ecstasy is our number-two drug of choice: 2 million of us have given it a go and another half a million of us have used the dance drugs GHB and ketamine. By the time Australians turn 20, 37 per cent of us have already tried illicit drugs and that figure rises to a shade less...
